Bhepherd, at once lnves tlgated.:w.3 v, : - :'J V Treatment Wsple. "My treatment is very simple." Dr. Friedman toid Mr, Shepherd. "Ona In Jection of the serum usually drives all signs of tuberculosis from the system. I have lived In a world of astonishment for more than a year, . X have seen men, men and children who were apparently doomed to death mada perfectly whole again in-iba space of a few weeks. But the greatest wonder to me is that the serum immunises against tuberculosis, Ilka vaccination against smallpox. "Do you vaccinate , as. In smallpox?" the physician was asked. ' . . 1 ''No. I only give an lnjectldn with 'a syringe of the same serum that I use for patients. A slight local swelling follows, but no running 'sore. I have produced enough of the culture to sup ply the world for, 'all time,; for the germs multiply very rapidly. I have treated mora than 1000 cases, and have not. lost one, except In Instances where the vitality was so "low that nothing could save the patient. , Of course, the ourev does not restore lost lungs or tis sues. 11 oniy kihs tuosrcuioiis- germs wherever it encounters them." - v ,: Barum zs Ineapeniiva, ' ' Answering queries as to when he would send his serum to the . United States and as to its cost. Dr. Friedman said that representatives of several Ameri can interests are an route to Berlin and that the question of American rights will not be settled until they arrive. Ha said tha treatment would be Inexpensive, and that doses would cost less than tl a doseir to manufacture. The speed of the cure, according to Dr. Friedman, is remarkable. "It takes-only a few -wceKs-at-raost, he said, 'to cure the average case of pulmonary tuberculosis. V The serum seems to kill all tha tuberculosis germs within tha body In a very short spice of time. Hemorrhages cease, wounds in tha lungs heal. feverdlsappearsTha patients immediately, regain their appe tites and, naturabeglns building up again What the germs have destroyed. I give no diet nor other treatment. Tha only thing I do Is to inject the serum with a small syringe into the buttock or the arm." Is Greatest Boon. Reporting his Interview with Dr. Friedman, Mr. Shepherd, who is a trained newspaper man well able to detect frauds snd quacks, goes on rec ord as believing that Dr. Friedman's discovery is tha greatest boon in medi cine the world has known. - VI saw and conversed with many pa Proud Yes- j There never was one like oursa It's Mascot the new smoldng tobacco !

Smoke Mascot the latest and the best. There never was one In pouch 5c in tins it would cost you tients,' says Shepherd. , "I saw a boy, entirely cured, whose leg had rotted away almost to, tha ,hlp. I saw a man who had hemorrhages, t night , aweate, fever, and had been la hospitals, who bad been cured within a few weeks and had returned to work after only ona injection. .saw a girl who. was born tuberculous, and whose hand had rotted away during 18 ""years, who was eured by one treatment in tour weeks. ; I saw clean-healed scars on -hands, on arms and necks and bodies of children, where once had been terrible and supposedly Incurable tuberculosis sores. These pa tlents and many more told me of their marvelous stories. Ona, who has seen what I have seen here must be con vlnced that Dr. Friedman has given the world the happiest Christmas except one that the world has ever known.' Will Walt for Proof. "American physicians will not be dls posed to glvs entire credence to this new marvelous cure for tuberculosis until final proof is furnished,", said Dr. E. A. Pierce, well known Portland special ist In tha treatment of tha disease, tius afternoon. r - 7":-. -y--r -- "Every once In a while," continued Dr. Pierce, "some German springs up and heralds the discovery of tha cure for consumption a thing for Which all the medical world has been searching through history. - , ; f "But tha physicians of this country will wait until the German standard medical publications give their evidence as to the value of the discovery, and these followed by the American medical journals, before they accept and believe the proposition. -',. -' t -, 'I .. ."That is a , precaution which must ba taken. The search for a cure has been so long and has been.," and is, -so great ly needed, that a 'cure-all' when e' plotted deceives trusting, thousands, wins from them their savings for treat ment and all without avail, This sort of thing lessens confidence and, de stroys hope. 1, and f am sure, other physicians of this country will be will lng to give credenoa to tha announce ment when backed by the unquestioned authority of the German and American standard medical, journals."

County Commissioners Urged to Prepare for Structure Across Columbia.- The expenditure of $500,000 for an ap proach to tha Oregon end of the pro posed Interstate bridge over the Colum bia river from the Columbia boulevard end of Union avenue to tha angle in tha present approach was urged upon the county commissioners this morning by a delegation of property : owners on worm union avenue. The proposed ap proach would' follow the tracks of the Vancouver carllna from tha boulevard to the pplht where the present approach to the ferry slip from Vancouver avenue joins the street car right of way. The estimate of $500,000 was put upon we project by Ralph ModieskL engineer, who estimated the cost of the proposed bridge and Includes the filling of tha route rrom the boulevard to the river. The committee of 10 which appeared stated that the people Of that section of the city would sea that Union avenue is placed itt the best of condition south of the boulevard. The county commissioners are not in favor of building the new approach, as iia.ooo has been spent recently in plio lng the present approach in good condi tion, and they say there appears to ba little necessity of additional routes to the river. They favor leaving the mat ter until the bridge becomes a certalntv The new -approach would total about 7000 feet In. length If the street car right of way is followed and would be about a fourth longer than tha present approach. E Good roads will coma in for nrotraet- ed discussion at the second annual con vention of tha Oregon State Hotel asso ciation at seaside. December and 7. and the association in all probability will Join the good roads movement of fr clally, according to Phil Metsohan Jr., president or tne organization. -. 'At the last ueetinr of tha aaax!a- tion'a exeetrtlve committee.,L-saId Mr. Metschan today, "the legislative com mittee was instructed to gather data to submit to the legislature for the pur pose or securing an appropriation for a state road from Grants Pass to the Josephine county caves. t . In addition to this. I expect the con vention will Indorse tha good roads movement and Join In active arltatlon to secure them. Good roads are direct ly beneficial to hotels. With .better . uaua cAistciti, aiiuro jjeupia i&ko auto tours, and this new and profitable ho tel business which results comes dur ing the summer months, usually our dullest period." The convention this year will meet next Friday and -Saturday at the Hotel Moore. Delegates will leave Portland for Seaside at 8 o'clock Friday morn ing, and arrive early In the afternoon. The first session will be held Friday afternoon. A dance will be held in the evening and business matters, speeches and election . of officers will e the oider Saturday.

WHOLESALE KILLING" OF WILD DUCKS TO STOP, IF PLANS CARRY e) From the stand that has been a) a taken by some of the members a 4 of the state game and fish com- a a mission it is cjulte likely that a a before spring there will be a a radical change In tha laws gov- a 4 ernlng the shooting of ducks In 4 a this state, commissioner C. F, a Stone of Klamath Falls, who is leader of the movement to cut a a down the dally limit, has taken a a stand that is approved by a a many people of the southern part a a of the stat. and by members of a a the legislature. H. said: 4 a "I am in favor of reducing tha limit on duck to 10 birds. a day 4 a- or 25 in levett ctmsetftitlve' days. O I do not bellev. it is right to a shoot ducks along th.

William Spire, pastor of the Marshall Street Presbyterian church. did not repeat the profanity this morn ing before the municipal Judge he heard G. B. Pendergast use Saturday after noon, the minister gave the court a pretty good Idea of what was said. "it was vile and profane language, said the minister in giving his testi mony. Judge Tazwell nodded his head that he understood, thereby saving the witness from using the profanity. Or dinary witnesses are required to re- prai as near as pusHiDie wnai iney nar in such bases.

Finley has' been endeavoring to get Big and Little Sturgeon lakes on Sauvies Island between the Willamette and the Columbia rivers set aside as a wild game refuge for the protection of ducks. In order to dd this, it is neces sary to have all the owners of . lands surrounding these lakes sign a contract making tha lake shore and the lakes a game refuge. All of the persons who own thia land have signed with the exception of two. They are holding out because they are hunters and one of the men claims that the ruling will injure his property, which he rents for duck shooting pur poses and which is good for nothing else. Game Warden Finley has' agreed to pay these men a small rental if they will sign up and It is likely that In a few days an order will go forth that duck hunting' on a major portion of Sauvies island will cease. It Is very likely that Little Sturgeon lake will be set aside even If Big Stur geon cannot be secured, since the own ers oUandsurJUUndiJigiheor4nr, have signed contracts agreeing to the same.
